rebirth through food

small town

The people at the gate had already dispersed, and Huzi's family had a donkey cart. Uncle Zhang knew that his family was going to the town, so he had already set up the cart.Father Ye had no choice but to follow the younger ones, so that the animal would not be overwhelmed by shock.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw a butcher from a neighboring village walking towards them.

"Brother, I found it after searching for a long time." The butcher pushed a wooden cart with a few pieces of meat left on it.

"Look at my brain!" Father Ye slapped his forehead.I clearly agreed to go to the market today to get it by myself, but I didn't expect to be too busy to forget it. "I'm really sorry."

"Hey, what's the matter here." The butcher smiled with his chest puffed out, "This water and bones..."

"Let's talk in Uncle's yard." Ye Xiaofeng interrupted the butcher with a smile.

"Okay, let's go in and tell." The butcher did not doubt him, and pushed the wooden cart into the courtyard gate, Lan'er and Huzi took the cart, Father Ye and Ye Xiaofeng went in to weigh the butcher.

Today's market is a big market. Although there is a market every day, they sell vegetables and fruits grown by themselves, but the market on the first and fifteenth day of the new year is different.Unless there are things grown in this soil, such as tables and chairs, live chickens and ducks, and even all kinds of small things, even low-quality rouge powder can be sold.

However, Ye's family was busy all morning, so they didn't even bother to go shopping. Fortunately, Ye Xiaofeng had already planned to go to the town, which was not a pity.

The butcher's business looks very good today. He entered the yard and parked the car in an open space, and said to Father Ye with a smile, "Brother, I have a good business today. I still have two pieces of meat left. I'll give you a bargain."

Father Ye took a look, the meat was lean and did not suit his taste.On the contrary, Ye Xiaofeng took a look and was very satisfied.

This kind of lean meat is the best for stir-frying. Although the fat meat is also very fragrant, but now there is no soy sauce, it is white, and it is somewhat difficult to swallow.

"How much cheaper is it, uncle?" Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile, "If it's much cheaper, we'll have both."

"Xiaofeng?" Father Ye called softly, he just bought meat yesterday, why buy it again today?

"Father, it's rare that meat is cheap. Of course, if uncle sells it not cheap, we don't want it."

"That's the reason, butcher Chen, you should be cheaper." Father Ye nodded.

"Don't worry, I've already made a lot of money selling meat today. I'll give you fifteen yuan for the lean meat that was originally twenty yuan a catty." Chen butcher weighed it in his hand, "Two yuan is more than three catties, which counts as three yuan." The catties are for you."

"Uncle Chen, this is not cheap. Let's not say that your meat is too thin and not fat at all. It's the leftovers from your market, and people pick and choose to sell it to my family. It's expensive." Ye Xiaofeng walked around the wooden cart with his hands behind his back, "Besides, we have a long-term cooperative relationship, uncle let the two papers change hands and made money back."

"...Brother, you kid's mouth is not in vain." Chen Butcher couldn't laugh or cry, "Well, for your brat's sake, I'll sell you this pork for twelve cents."

Ye Xiaofeng was still a little dissatisfied. Father Ye saw that he was about to open his mouth, so he quickly stopped him, "Okay, brother, give me the scale."

Ye Xiaofeng pursed his mouth, and Father Ye gave him a sneaky look. Twelve coins are cheap enough, you should be content, kid!

Twelve Wen per catty, 36 Wen for three catties.There are two sets of pork bones, pork liver and other offal. Although the cost is not small, the harvest is also quite rich.What pleased Ye Xiaofeng the most was that he saw pork belly for the first time.

A few days ago, he didn't see pork belly every time, so he couldn't ask, but when he saw it today, he smiled and frowned, "Uncle has pork belly today, but he doesn't usually have it!"

"That's right. In the past, people always wanted to leave the pork belly. Today, the person didn't come, so it's left."

"I see." Ye Xiaofeng nodded.The pork belly was taken away, and he couldn't think of any other uses for it besides eating. Some people were good at cooking these offal from places he didn't know. Does that mean that people would have more seasonings in their hands?

If this is the case, the standard of diet will double.

After clearing the money, Ye Xiaofeng soaked the pork belly and so on in clean water, waiting to pack it up when he came back from town.The family of three took out the tigers, chatted, laughed and drove the donkey cart on the road, not noticing a sneaky figure behind him blocking Chen Butcher.

The town is indeed quite prosperous, just looking at the clothes of these people in the town, they are much better than them.Although it is not silk and satin, at least it is a half-new cotton gown, which is not as rough as the fabric they wear, and it also has patches.

There is also a big market in the town today, and many families took their children out for a stroll, but it was almost noon at this time, and most of them bought good things and went back.Lan'er sat on the donkey cart, looking enviously at those very glamorous girls who didn't come to dress up.Ye Xiaofeng patted Lan'er's head, didn't speak, but planned in his heart to buy something for his sister later.

Father Ye parked the donkey cart in a large cart shop, where many traveling merchants rested their feet. The cart shop provided white water, and also had the impact of noodles, rice porridge, and the like.You can park here if you have a meal, and you can stop using it if you don’t eat.

But Father Ye parked the car here not because he was cheap, but because he was familiar with this big car shop.Not only is he acquainted with the big car shop, but Master Zhang also has a close personal relationship with the owner, Dong, so every time Master Zhang's donkey cart stops here.

This time Father Ye was driving Everyone Zhang's donkey cart, which was no exception.The guy at the cart shop saw that it was Father Ye, and hurried up to help unload the donkey and pull it to the side.Father Ye was carrying a bundle of grass from the cart and throwing it on the ground for the donkey to eat, while laughing and talking with the guys.

"Where's the shopkeeper?" Father Ye looked around and didn't see the shopkeeper who usually greeted him in the store, so he couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"Sigh." The clerk shook his head, and said to Father Ye with a gloomy face, "The shopkeeper's family has something to do, and I haven't been here for several days."

Father Ye nodded slowly, "Let's go shopping in the town first and be back later."

"Okay, don't worry about keeping the animals here." The man yelled.

These big animals are very expensive, so anyone who has mules and horses will feel sorry for them. These animals can be very useful when plowing the land and pulling carts.

The Ye family also had big animals back then, but in order for Ye Xiaofeng's second brother to successfully enter the Qingshan School, they had to pull them out and sell them for money.

The family of three took their goats for a stroll in the town. Lan'er was only ten years old, and the farmer's family didn't pay that much attention, so they could still go out for a stroll. If it took another year or two, it might not be so convenient.

Father Ye was carrying silver coins, while Ye Xiaofeng looked around with his eyes wide open.In fact, the market in the town was almost gone, but Ye Xiaofeng didn't care at all, he came here just to have a look.If you want to buy something for your younger sister, there are also many shops on this street, which have everything from rouge powder to ready-to-wear cloth.

Ye Xiaofeng's eyes soon lost sight, seeing that there was a fabric store in front of him that looked very pleasing to the eye, he directly pulled Lan'er and walked in.
